Answer:

They should increase their price by $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out what 35% of 80 is. Do so by multiplying 80 by 35% in its decimal form - .35.

80*.35=28.

This means that they have to increase their price by at least 28 dollars to make a profit.

The new price of the instrument should be $108 - $80 increased by 35%.

Hope this helps :)

Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 9, 15, 21, ...

9-3 = 6; 15-9 = 6; 21-15 = 6 ⇒ d = 6

first term: a = 3

difference: d = 6

so the formula:

$a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=69+6(n-1)\\\\a_n =3+6n-6\\\\\underline{a_n=6n-3}$

and:

$a_{50}=6\cdot50-3=300-3=297$

If you have 30$ and you need to find 8%, and add to 30$ then find 15% of that, and what’s your total?

stira [4]

Answer:

Our total amount value is $4.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount given is $30.

Now 8 % of $30 = $\frac{8}{100} \times 30 = 2.4$

or, 8% of $30 = $2.4

Now adding $30 and $2.4,

$ 30 + $2.4 = $32.4

Finding 15% of the total $32.4,

we get $\frac{15}{100} \times 32.4 = 4.86$

or, 15% of $32.4 = $4.86

hence, our total amount value is $4.86.
